Sight For Sore Eyes

A little over a week ago, one of our patients went into complete heart block while exercising on the treadmill.


(Complete heart block is a condition where the electrical signal that causes the lower heart chambers to contract gets blocked.)


He stated that his knees felt weak and then he was down.  To make a long , scary story short, he was quickly transferred to the hospital where a pacemaker was inserted, which takes over and causes the ventricles to contract.  (My lasting vision was of him lying on the floor with his eyes rolled back in his head.)



Yesterday, he walked into the HEART Center.
Big Hug Time!
